76 All the nobles gathered in Luoyang, and the Deng patriarch was dying of old age

Qin Zifeng, a four-year-old dark-skinned baby, shouted happily, "Aunt! Ran to He's side, hugged He's thighs with both hands and coquettishly.

Qin Libang and Qin Lihao are seven years old, so they are more stable, walk quickly, and bow to the elders.

The daughters and children of the Qin family are here. The Qin family's Deng family is not there when they go out today.

He Huishu, Shang Lan, and Zhang Li of the Qin family greeted the elders of the Qu family.

"We arrived five days ago and went to many places in Luoyang." He Huishu was wearing a willow leaf cyan long skirt, with a graceful figure, looking like a girl from a distance.

She took He's hand and said excitedly: "Luoyang City is very prosperous, much better than I imagined." ”

The sisters had not been to Luoyang for more than 20 years, and it was once a battlefield between the Righteous Army and the Kai Dynasty Army.

The general who guarded Luoyang in the Kai Dynasty army was an experienced and strong general.

The rebels burned down half of the city during the battle, and the general swore not to open the gates.

The people of the Bai and Deng tribes came to persuade the general, and the general committed suicide by drawing his sword at the head of the city in order to prevent the death of the people in the city.

Most of the general's soldiers committed suicide with him.

The commander of the rebel army at that time was clearly He Xia, but he was actually the military advisor Li Bing.

Li Bing respected this general and ordered him to be buried thickly, and did not cure his family's crimes.

Luoyang after this battle, the lives were devastated, and it was rumored that the degree of dilapidation was comparable to that of Qingcheng, which was surrounded by war all the year round.

Unexpectedly, after more than 20 years, Luoyang City has basically recovered its original appearance.

Before He came, he had heard Li Li talk about the current appearance of Luoyang, and he was not surprised, and said with a smile: "The imperial court has exempted the people of Luoyang City from forty percent of the field tax for twenty years. All this money was in the hands of the people themselves. The people are rich, and the city government is naturally rich. ”

"My sister-in-law has been going to see the people of the Deng clan for the past few days." He Huishu said softly: "The Deng clan has been attached to the Bai clan outside Luoyang City before, and now His Majesty has given the city where the Deng clan was located as a fief to King Rong, and some of the Deng clan have already gone, and the rest will all move over next month." ”

He sighed with emotion: "The fief period of King Rong is ten years. It is also difficult for the Deng people to rebuild their homes within ten years. "The heart said: The Deng clan has a chance to regain the clan, but my mother's Mu clan doesn't even have this chance.

The Li family had heard Li Bing talk about Luoyang's big Zhuangzi several times before, and today they finally moved in, and walked around, it was really big enough, it was even bigger than the founding mansion of Tanzhou, and it was necessary to know that the predecessor of the Hou Mansion was the palace of the king of Hunan.

Uncle Liu, the housekeeper of Da Zhuangzi, was a fat old man with two missing fingers on his left hand, and said with a smile: "The old man has already asked dozens of peonies to be planted in the big garden, and more than 2,000 peonies are planted. Now the peony flowers have half bloomed, and I am looking forward to the masters to enjoy them. ”

He Huishu said enviously: "The peony flowers in your home are very beautiful, and we have to go to enjoy them every morning and evening." ”

He Shi's eyes were bright, and he turned his head and said loudly: "Mother, we are not tired, how about wiping our faces and going to the garden to see our peony flowers?" ”

Qu agreed, and with great interest, he pulled Qu Jia Deng to walk quickly to the resting yard to wipe his face.

After a while, the figures of everyone appeared in the garden of four acres of fragrant flowers.

Di Yurong, who loves beauty, deliberately changed into a light yellow long skirt, attracting butterflies to dance beside her, like a flower fairy.

Li Quzhi, who is very handsome, wears a crescent white robe, and walks in the garden hand in hand with Di Yurong, looking like a fairy companion from a distance.

Li Lao actually imitated Li Quai's illness and picked a red peony flower and inserted it in He's bun, which aroused He Huishu's joke.

The twins picked flowers for Qu and Li Jingjing, and told them to lean over and put them on their hair.

The ladies all wore peony flowers on their hair, and even the two youngest daughters born to Ma and her deceased husband also wore one each.

He Huishu said with a smile: "Sister, the peony garden in Luoyang is the largest in the White Horse Temple and the royal family, followed by the Bai family, and your Zhuangzi's garden can be ranked in the top ten." ”

He and He Huishu once came to Luoyang to participate in the flower party when they were young, and they lived in the villa of the royal peony garden with the light of Queen Mu.

He asked in a low voice, "Who lives in the royal peony garden this time?" ”

He Huishu's face changed slightly: "At present, the people who go to live there are my daughter-in-law, your daughter-in-law, the second princess, the third princess, the fourth princess, the crown prince Hu Fangfei, the queen of the Huns, and the princess of the Huns." ”

When He heard that He Huishu's two sisters-in-law had actually left Chang'an and arrived here, he shook his head lightly and said, "Old Princess Niu and Princess Deng didn't live there?" ”

He Huishu said: "No." Princess Niu lived in the house of the Hui clan, and Princess Deng lived in the Zhuangzi of King Rong. ”

Everyone swam through the garden and went to lunch, the chef in this village is Li Bing, in order to make Qu happy, specially invited Kaichao to make the best chef in Henan Province, and also told Qu to love rice and chili.

Except for Li Bing and He's, the Li family likes to eat rice and spicy dishes, and they don't know that this is stained with Qu's light.

Zhuangzi's housekeeper cautiously asked, "Old lady, do you see that you are satisfied with the meal today?" ”

Qu nodded and said, "It's good." ”

"The old man sent someone in front of him to give you the name of your favorite dish." When Zhuangzi's butler said this, he saw Qu's face full of smiles.

Qujia Deng envied: "Brother-in-law is really considerate to you. ”

He said with a smile: "Uncle, my father used to be away from home all the year round, and he is compensating my mother." ”

Qu family Deng thought about it, didn't it, Qu used to take Li Lao alone in the past, and closed the door early every day before it was dark, nodded and said, "That's right." My brother-in-law hasn't been with you for so many years, and it's been several years since I left. ”

Li Jingjing went to the courtyard arranged for her to rest, and she didn't know how long she slept when she heard someone talking outside.

"Princess Deng and Mrs. Deng brought the two elders of the Deng family, and they have already told the old lady and the eldest lady that they want to find the young lady to see the disease."

"Shhhh

"The eldest lady said that it was not good to let Princess Deng, Mrs. Deng and the two elders of the Deng clan wait too long, so that the young lady could wake up. Sister Huan, look? ”

"Miss showed the Murong clan yesterday that she was sick and tired, let her sleep more, and wait."

"King Rong has gone to the Southlands. Princess Deng specially went to Luoyang to take a look at the Bai clan of the husband of the lord of Fu, and then take a look at the people of the Deng clan of her mother's family. ”

"You are talking so loudly, Miss was woken up by you."

Wangying stuck out his tongue at Li Huan. The two girls went in together to wait for Li Jingjing to get dressed, washed, and combed her hair.

Wangying hadn't heard it since she entered the house, and said carefully: "Miss, the two elders of the Deng clan are Princess Deng, Mrs. Deng's cousin, and uncle, both of whom are seventy years old. ”

"Oh."

"The old cousin was suffering from rheumatism, and I saw that the bones of his hands were deformed. The old cousin had a stroke before, and his mouth was slanted, and he couldn't speak well. ”

"Hmm."

"Because everyone in the Deng clan is going to move to the north, and there are no good doctors there, Princess Deng and Mrs. Deng want to ask you to show them, it is best to be cured."

Li Jingjing was the first time to see the elders of the Deng clan, and she had to dress formally and decently, and after everything was done, she went to the hall of the main courtyard.

Princess Deng and the Qin family Deng were talking about the sad past when the Deng clan was chased and killed by the Huns and almost wiped out the clan, burst into tears, and when they saw Li Jingjing, they hurriedly wiped their tears with a handkerchief, and a kind smile appeared on their faces.

The two thin old men sitting at the bottom of Qu's looked at Li Jingjing, their cloudy old eyes lit up, they didn't expect a twelve-year-old girl to have such a calm temperament.

Li Jingjing bowed and saluted: "Jing Niang has seen two Grandpa Deng. ”

The two old men would not rely on the old and sell the old, so they got up and saluted respectfully, and said, "Deng Xueping (Xueyi) has seen the princess of the country. ”

Deng Xueping is Deng Xueyi's brother-in-law. The two brothers are cousins of the biological father of Princess Deng's siblings.

Li Jingjing had already heard Wangying say it in detail just now, and when she got here, she listened to the Qin family's Deng clan again.

The extra piece of information is that not only the two patients of the Deng Xueping brothers who seek medical treatment, but also their biological father, Deng Ouliang, the ninety-two-year-old patriarch of the Deng clan, is now very sick and has been paralyzed in bed for almost 100 days.

Deng Ouliang has always wanted to die in his hometown in the Northland, so with this thought, he lived very persistently and tenaciously, and he didn't breathe for a long time.

Li Jingjing could imagine what Deng Ouliang's mood was towards his homeland, and asked, "Is that to give the two Grandpas Deng first or to see Grandpa Deng?" ”

Deng Xueping looked forward to this sentence in his heart, and said: "If the princess can move over, our whole clan is grateful to you." ”

"Princess, my father thinks that even if he has a breath, he can go back to his hometown and take a look, please do it." Deng Xueyi's mouth was tilted two inches to the right, and she drooled as soon as she spoke, and kept wiping it with a handkerchief.

He Shi said in a low voice: "Mother, Changsheng and I followed Jing Niang to the Deng clan, and you will have a good rest in the Zhuangzi." ”

Qu nodded. He Huishu handed over her three sons to the Qu family and went with the He family.

A few decades ago, when the Deng clan fled all the way from the north to Luoyang to join their in-laws, the Bai tribe, numbered only about 20 people, and now the number of the clan has reached nearly 150.

Patriarch Deng Districtliang was the one who ordered never to surrender to the Xiongnu. To this day, he has no regrets. In fact, it turns out that he did the right thing.

Dozens of large and small families in the north who took refuge in the Xiongnu are now either extinct, or their bad reputation has been abandoned by the Dingchao and declined.

Li Jingjing got out of the carriage, and in front of her was a quaint old Zhuangzi, looking at the door and Murong Hao's merchant about the same time, this wall is solid, but it is too old, and it has not been painted for many years.

The Qin family's Deng family said quietly: "This Zhuangzi belongs to the Bai clan, and our family lived here when they first came to Luoyang. ”

Li Jingjing looked puzzled.

Princess Deng said in a low voice: "I became a princess, I bought land not far away and built a large house, my uncle and grandfather did not bring the clansmen to move over, so they lived here, saying that they were afraid of going to a new house, and the clansmen forgot to go back to the north when they were comfortable." ”

The Li family looked around Zhuangzi, the area was not large, and it was okay to live for a hundred people, but if it was nearly two hundred people plus slaves, it would be very crowded.

Deng Ouliang's words are not unreasonable. Over the years, the Deng people have been lying on their salaries and trying their courage, and they are waiting to return to their hometown to rebuild their families.

The Qin family's Deng family said: "My uncle and grandfather ordered that our foreign daughters can use the dowry to supplement the Deng family, but we must not embezzle the money of the in-laws' family to the Deng family." ”

Princess Deng had tears in her eyes, and said slowly: "What is our dowry, uncle and grandfather are here to make us stand up in our in-laws' house, and they don't want us to be embarrassed." ”

He praised: "The old patriarch has a lot of backbone in doing this, and it will also make the in-laws more respectful, so that they will do their best to help the Deng family." ”

Deng Xueping and Deng Xueyi paused, and they all glanced back at He's family, and said in their hearts: Li Bing's eldest daughter-in-law is really not simple.

Li Jingjing once again respected the far-sighted Deng Ouliang.

Zhuangzi was not big, and after walking dozens of steps, he arrived at the backyard of the second main courtyard, and the two old women wore clean and neat dresses and silver hairpins on their hair to welcome everyone to the side hall.

The Li family just looked all the way over, the Deng family's slaves and slaves are all dressed in medium clothes, it seems that the Deng family's business has been doing well over the years, and the clan has wealth again, which also shows that there is no bad treatment of loyal slaves and slaves.

Li Jingjing could understand the mood of the Deng people seeking medical treatment for Deng Ouliang, and said, "Grandpa Deng, go and take me to see Grandpa Deng." ”

Deng Xueping nodded from the good and said, "Princess, five great doctors and pharmacists, please come here." ”

This time, Li Jingjing came with Dr. Liu, Li Shiqu, Miaoshui, Zifeng, and Guangmingzi, all of whom were cronies.

She arranged for He Ping and He An to stay on duty in Zhuangzi and prevent them from coming into contact with the people of the Deng clan.

In the bedroom facing south from the north to the south, the simple, generous, simple and elegant Nanmu furniture reflects the internal facilities of this Zhuangzi lent by the Bai people to the Deng people.

The windows are wide open, the air is convection, and there is no peculiar smell in the room, except for the strong smell of decoction.

There was a thin old man with white hair and blank eyes lying on the Nanmu bed, his wrinkled face showing a gray complexion, and there was a gloomy dead air in a half-zhang radius.

No wonder in the Li family's Zhuangzi just now, the Deng family insisted on not letting the three little bear children of the Qin family come with them, for fear that they would be touched by Deng Ouliang's dead air.

Deng Xueping put his hands on the side of the bed, leaned into Deng Ouliang's ear and said loudly: "Dad, Princess Huguo, the granddaughter of Prince Li, personally brought five great doctors and pharmacists to see you. ”

Deng Quliang's eyes rolled slightly, his lips opened, and he couldn't speak.

"My father's ears are a little back, and his whole body can't move, but he understands it in his heart." Deng Xueyi wiped the falling saliva while talking hard.

Princess Deng and the Qin family Deng took out a handkerchief to wipe away their tears, and stood aside waiting to see the results of Li Jingjing's diagnosis.
